Are you Ireland ready?
Take the quiz and see!!
Here at SA2Eire.com we like to look after your move from all aspects. From making sure information is available and up to date, to running a Facebook page where people can ask questions to several Telegram groups, one of which is specifically to supply emotional support to those people who have taken the plunge and are IN Ireland, but need to find their feet.
So, do you want to see how you would fare if there was a hypothetical test on what you need to know in Ireland not to look dazed and confused every other day?
We thought you might!
The answers are available on the link at the end!
(This is purely for some giggles, but these questions are based on actual things you will encounter in Ireland, so while it has no impact on your eligibility to live in Ireland, sure will help get you Ireland ready!)
